Good question. I am not sure about the answer. I think the guy “looks” qualified. Considering his schedule next season… it’s already looking monumental. You know what they say about “first impressions”.

I honestly don’t think the UT fan base understood just how bad things had gotten… and that goes back to Fulmer.

I haven’t seen the money for this guy yet… but I would bet that Ark and UT coachs are getting paid more than Malzahn.

OK, I’m in the WHO? camp. I mean I knew that Cincinnati was doing good but I do not know anything about this guy… What sort of style is he going to bring to the Vols?

Frankly, I am a little surprised at the trouble TN has had getting a coach. I mean I know it is a tough SEC job but I can’t figure out why no one wants to take this on if they are willing to write a big enough check… Is there really that much working against a successful team here? Are they not capable of getting their fair share of recruits, having great facilities, a great fan base? (I’m sure Vol Fans will return full fold with a few wining seasons) Someone that knows more about what is going on up there try to explain to me why TN all of the sudden had to go down a list of coaches before someone was willing to take over this program?
